Kiwi in the oz

Yeah I guess its about time I did a decent update huh? And if you’re good enough I might even add photos (of what i’m not sure but i’ve got plenty on my flash drive (little computer storage thing) that i could show off to ya.

Work: Still looking for a job. I’m calling about some telemarketing jobs on monday so fingers crossed. I have a feeling the fact I don’t have any references (except personal references) in the country isn’t helping my cause. Its not going to stop me from trying. I’m waiting to hear from mcdonalds, hungry jacks and pizza hutt so fingers crossed on those. I dont want a hugely important job, I just want a job. I miss being able to work (as odd as that sounds). I did have a one off day of work last week. 5hrs, in the rain unloading a container from a truck that had been involved in an accident. The cargo? 13kg (about 28lb) boxes of bananas!!!! oh it was a fun day thats for sure lol. In fact I think that might be part of the reason i’m sick now – my clothes were so soaked by the end of the day it wasn’t funny.

Weather: We’ve had some weird weather over the past week or so and word is that we’ll be getting more over the next week, so fingers crossed its nothing too severe. The rain is definitely welcomed thats for sure.

Movies: Seen a couple of good ones this week. I rented “The Other Boelyn Girl” which was amazing. I loved it! I wasn’t sure whether to read the book series by Phillipa Gregory or not but I’m definitely thinking that might be a good idea now. We also got “The Spiderwick Chronicles” which was really awesome as well. I love fantasy movies like that, they’re so much fun, again not one that i’ve read the books for but still a good movie on its own.

Jasper: Poor dog had a visit to the vet this week, he had a bite on his back that wouldn’t heal. The vet seems to think it was green ants (?) so he’s got some antibiotics and some cream to numb the area so he wont itch it. He’s doing a lot better now so much so that the dog groomer will be here on tuesday to give him a bath and clip so he’s not so hot in his winter coat.

All In all things are going good, still a bit frustrated at the job situation but i’m trying my hardest, and every other day i’m on the job sites sending my resume in, and checking positions on various sites that don’t use sites like seek.com.au. (Which rocks btw). Everyone here’s happy and doing fine. In fact Patrick and I have been invited to a friend’s place on the coast for the weekend next weekend! i’m really looking forward to it (and don’t worry i’ll have my camera with me thats for darn sure!) so lots of photos and such. We’re planning on baking tiramasu (sp?) which should be fun – i’ve never tried one let alone attempted to make one lol.

On that note, here’s some photos for you guys….
